@ BCFCfinker: "We are in that position of knowing the way forward and not having to worry about who's behind us." LOL and you say this as if it's a positive thing?
"the look of Cardiff" - daft comment since we have a large net INCOME on transfers (even before the Zaha deal) and our wages are not over inflated, plus we have NOT sold our souls to businessmen from Malaysia who pumped cash in and rebranded the whole vile club that Cardiff are.
You lot are heading to League One even though your owner "owes himself millions" since the club has been run in a wreckless manner by your puppet board who are all aboard the gravy train. Thanks uncle Steve!
Albert will be wanting to move sooner or later, take the offer now or we will snap him up for less. Him and Yannick can form a new partnership which is heading for promotion if not this season then next. Our best player Jonathan Williams is still well under the radar and he will be better than Zaha.

@nicecityboy
Crystal Palace have the look of a Cardiff City of seasons past (just how many games have Palace won in the past couple of months?), gonna choke when it comes down to the tail of the season. AA probably would be better off hoping that BCFC don't sell him to Palace.
As to our position at the moment, we know where we are. We are in that position of knowing the way forward and not having to worry about who's behind us. Other teams however will be constantly looking over their shoulders and not concentrating about what they are supposed to be doing. 18 games to go and your predicting relegation, you'll be telling me next that Palace are going up ;)

@nicecityboy not that long ago your lot were on our boards begging for handouts, now all of a sudden you're this mighty big club dictating how much we must acccept
No matter how much you demand AA, we don't have to sell him to you and too be honest, Albert can do a lot better than CP.
BTW how's bargain boy Nick Carle?

@nicecityboy:
We are not cash strapped any more than Man City & Chelsea are.We owe the money to one man who also owns the club so, in essence, he owes it to himself!
You didn't want to sell Zaha but you did when an offer met YOUR VALUATION, not Man Utds who, I understand opened the bidding at £7m.
If I bid £100k for your £1m house then came back with £200k I can't see you saying, OK, then
Unless our Board (Actually owner, they're puppets)get what they want we won't be selling so jog on there's a good chap.
understand opened

Now Jim Smith aka ncb.....
Just to help you out here. Our club does indeed have a lot of debt all created by one man, our Chairman Steve Lansdown and also owed to one man also called Steve Lansdown. He's only got about £850 million left so must be desperate and grateful to take £1.75m from fellow NPC club, Palace.
Although you say "you couldn't make it up", you just did and your hypocrisy is as inflated as Zaha's fee but I'm sure the palace board will heed your words as I'm also sure that Barcelona would let Messi leave in a cut price deal if they weren't performing on the pitch.It's all relative and you're relative ***.

piledriver, just commented on the other AA story where you said £1m (our opening bid) was an insult. Here is why I think Zaha/Albert have such different valuations:
"piledriver, not insulting for a few reasons:
£1m is our opening bid - would it be sensible to go in straight away with our highest bid considering we have already had one bargain off you this season so why wouldn't we chance it again with Albert?
Zaha is 5 years younger, with 120+ starts at championship level - goal scoring record is not what he is about, watch a youtube video to see how he beats defenders and you may understand why Red Nose at that horrible club values him so highly, he is a potential star of the future.
CPFC do not need cash right now, did not need to sell Zaha so it would always take a high bid to be accepted by the owners. Brizzle City are cash strapped by all accounts and under financial pressure so may fold to a lower valuation for your star player."

@city1982
@CiderheadNott:
We don't need/have to sell but every player, even Ronaldo, has his price.
He is contracted until 2014 so if CP or anyone else want him they can have him at thr right price and you're being very unambitious in your valuation for a player with a better record in the NPC & at int level.

city1982 if he hands in a transfer request as I believe he will then you will not get a good amount for him as you are forced to sell.(lets face it who wants to stay on a sinking ship?)
Your club has so much debt by all accounts, meaning they are under pressure to sell ASAP. First Bolasie and next Adomah - you just couldn't make this stuff up!
